> Respect for the USA was restored last night. I've not seen anything like this in my lifetime. Sometimes there are claims here that our year old government is doing too little too late. But the problems are acknowledged and solutions sought and we don't have to spend half the time arguing that white really is white rather than black. In his acceptance speech Obama acknowledged reality and went a decent way to building hope.Yes, great points! I have gained a massive amount of respect for the U.S. over choosing Obama (even more then I have for my own country right now..) and I also think it is a beautiful tribute to African Americans. I could say more about that other group, the 'racists', but it would indeed be very, very uncivil.
Peace and Hope...
